A Lee County woman is dead and her family blames a bogus 9-1-1 call that was made during a custody dispute. Family members now say they want justice.More >>

It was a crazy scene as a woman was chased down by deputies with guns drawn. Her family claims that stress killed her. A bogus 911 call led to that chase, and it was all over the custody of a 5-year-old.

The call that came into 911 Dispatch was that a 5-year-old was being kidnapped.

Dispatcher: 911, what is your emergency?

Caller: This guy is trying to kidnap my kid in a Silverado Chevrolet.

The child's mother sounded frantic as she told dispatchers she was following the abductor.

Caller: I don't know who this person in the car is driving.

Deputies were able to catch up to the suspect car on Joel Boulevard in Lehigh Acres with guns drawn. They treated it as a felony traffic stop because of the nature of the call.

But in the end, they learned the alleged kidnapping was just a lie.

Detectives say the child's mother, Angela Rice, made the whole thing up because she's in a custody dispute with the father.

Not only that, but the unsuspecting driver of the car that was pulled over, a relative of the child's father, suffered a heart attack as a result of the stop.
